Answer: D. Samuel Tilden won the popular vote, but Rutherford B. Hayes

Tilden did win the popular vote, and his electoral vote count was initially ahead of Hayes' count; however, there were four states in which the electoral college results were disputed (leaving 20 votes up in the air which was enough for Hayes to win). To settle the matter, electoral votes were awarded to Hayes in exchange for the Reconstruction ending. This meant Union troops would withdraw occupation from the south (specifically South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida).

Of the following sources,where might you expect to find biased information?

snow_lady [41]

While you didn't provide any possible sources, we can expect that biased information would be found when you would look for information from people who are involved in the situation that is being discussed. Imagine a soldier from Germany discussing his viewpoint of World War II. He would most likely give you a biased account. At least, when compared to a postwar historical analysis of that same situation.
